The Oklahoma City Thunder have signed the free-agent center Nazr Mohammed. Terms were not disclosed. Mohammed, 38, spent two seasons with the Thunder (2010-12), appearing mostly as a reserve in 87 games and averaging 3.9 points and 3.3 rebounds in 12.9 minutes. He was a part of the Oklahoma City team that reached the N.B.A. finals in 2012. A 17-year veteran, he has career averages of 5.8 points and 4.7 rebounds.

■ The Indiana Pacers have put forward Chase Budinger on waivers. The 6-foot-7 Budinger played in 49 games for Indiana, averaging 4.4 points and 2.5 rebounds after being acquired in a trade with Minnesota last July. The move could clear the way for the Pacers to add point guard Ty Lawson. Several media outlets reported last week that Lawson had agreed to a deal with the Pacers, although the team has not confirmed any agreement.
